What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project B1K of PE 0605058A. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
- Provide technical and business management support activities to provide critical program status and decision quality data. - Ensure compliance with internal and external direction, policies, and regulations to deliver critical capability within a consistent and disciplined process. - Conduct internal program reviews to measure program progress. - Continue a Mission Assurance and Manufacturing Engineering Program to include Quality, Configuration Management, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Safety in all phases of the system life cycle, throughout the supply chain, and at all levels of assembly emphasizing high yield rates which minimize test and rework costs. - Provide Quality Safety and Mission Assurance operations to ensure compliance with requirements for design, test, manufacturing, quality, safety and reliability to ensure high quality products are delivered to the Warfighter.
The increase from FY 2026 to FY 2027 is the result of the transfer of efforts from the Missile Defense Agency to the Army.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | Request | 24.7 |
This activity is 2.7% of project B1K's FY2027 request and 2.3% of PE 0605058A's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the project page.
